She came to America in the summer of 1898, when her great-uncle, Thomas Wark brought her back on one of his trips. Her sister, Elizabeth, had come back with him on a prior trip. She, her sister, and their aunt Isabella all lived with Thomas in his home in Fort Branch, Indiana. After his passing, they remained in the house with their aunt. She passed in 1911, and they took ownership of the town properties under her name, including a cow pasture located on Locust Street. In 1916, the town's first Public Library Board of Trustees purchased this cow pasture, and built a Carnegie library on the land in 1917. That Carnegie is still standing, and is the Fort Branch Public Library.

Stormont, published in 1914. Their aunt's [Isabella Irwin] portrait and a photo of the Wark-Irwin residence are included in the passage as well.
